North and South Korea have begun dismantling loudspeakers that blared propaganda across their heavily fortified border, South Korea's defence ministry says, fulfilling a promise made at last week's historic summit.

South Korea said on Wednesday the issue of USA troops stationed in the South is unrelated to any future peace treaty with North Korea and that American forces should stay even if such an agreement is signed.

Research by Chinese geologists indicate the mountain containing Kim's main nuclear test site has collapsed due to nuclear testing and related aftershocks.

North Korea emerged a serious threat to the peace in the region as well to the worldwide community with its reckless nuclear ambitions but in 2018, Kim has shown a considerable intent to make diplomatic openings with South Korea and big powers like the USA and China.

At one point during the recent North-South summit, there was great praise for the South's President Moon, with some proposing that he be nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.

The events now taking place represent the intersection of Chinese and North Korea aims.

There is a "strong possibility" the summit will be held at the site, CNN reported, citing an anonymous official as source with in-depth know-how of North Korea's take on the matter.

In another sign of the thaw in relations leader Kim Jong-un last week confirmed the facility would be closed.

"North Korea is not the paradise your grandfather envisioned". Moon's remark came when he deflected a question about whether he might win the award as one of his predecessors, Kim Dae-jung, did in 2000 after the first ever inter-Korean summit.

With the leaders of both the Democratic People's Republic of Korea and South Korea having declared they are ready to end the state of war between the two that has existed since 1950, the ball is now in the US court.

Among the respondents, 86.3 percent forecast the DPRK-U.S. summit will bear fruits. So Kim Il Sung, backed by the Russians, invaded the South and, in the end, 20 percent of the Korean population died in the war.

"(We) think Panmunjom is quite meaningful as a place to erode the divide and establish a new milestone for peace.

Buoyed by the success of his summit with President Moon of South Korea, the extent to which the North Korean leader let his hair down in the evening became clear yesterday. Trump now is saying that he might get tough on Iran, holding out on certifying the deal under which Iran agreed not to build nuclear warheads.

Applying the conclusions in the Wilson Center report to the current situation, where Beijing has replaced Moscow as Pyongyang's sponsor, the North Koreans retain their own goals for reunification and are not simply puppets.
